Here is our new Greetings in Wonderland stamps! They are a large 6 x 8" set with 27 separate stamps. Available to order after CHA. Artwork is from 3 antique versions of the book with lots of cool changes, new parts and fun words by Cindy van Koll. She even made small hearts to fit on the queen's fan and squeezed in my fav: 'A man's home is his castle' and 'Until the Queen arrives'. Eventually there will be a 'Tea With Alice' stamp set!

Julie Campbellis coming to work in our booth at the shows, so I sent her one of the stamp proofs and she created this fun card. Our DT leader Vicki Chrisman will also be at both shows and managing our make-n-takes.

DT memberMarisa Grossondesigned this card in with a pretty yellow palette. Love the pearl on her crown and the detail on the watch!

I have 3 samples to show you byLisa Zappa.I love the way she altered this book and added a Queen of Hearts playing card!

Here is the queen with the knave of hearts and Lisa said she added red Fun Flock to give him a velvet pillow!

Check out the Tweedle Dee & Dum boys on this cute card by Lisa

First of all congratulations to Jean, lucky girl! And kudos to the design team for such lovely cards! They are simply amazing! I love, love, love the new Alice stamps and I'm over the moon about the mermaid set. I love both themes and try to collect anything that contains Alice or mermaids. So these are right up my alley. What a fantastic job has been done creating these sets, just beautiful.

How wonderful your new stamp sets are and I appreciate seeing all of the lovely examples made with them!Their is a new Alice in Wonderland movie coming out. I think Johnny Deppis the rabbit.....The Mermaid stamp are very enchanting. Many thanks,Cindijchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com

Oh, my....LOVE Alice in Wonderland. I had a hardcover copy with the original illustrations when I was a girl, and this just brings it all back. Gorgeous cards, too. And what can I say about the mermaids? I'm swooning!!

I've always loved Alice in Wonderland these stamps are Fabulous!!!!!!. I can't wait to see them in the stores so I can get a set.I just LOVE all these new stamps Crafty Secret your Amazing. orionwall@hotmail.com

Very cool sets and such great inspiration from the design team, thank you ladies! I am awaiting the availability of the mermaid set, how my older daughter loved mermaids when they were little, I even sewed mermaid tails for them to wear in the bathtub!

Congrats to Jean -she is one lucky lady. The Alice projects are wonderful, but mermaids have always been my favorites. Can't wait to see all the wonderful things that will be made with them. Thanks for the chance to win a set.Ad K.

I absolutely adore Alice in Wonderland and would love to create beautiful pieces with these stamps. The mermaids are wonderful also and would make for gorgeous projects that remind me in the cold of winter, of the beach and summertime.

Oh my goodness! These two sets are just marvelous....I HAVE to get the Alice in Wonderland one first :o) I love your vintage stamps and have a lot of them....The samples are magnificent!!Have a great time at CHA.Hugs, Candy

Hope CHA is a great success for you Sandy! The Alice set is great fun and I love the mermaids, lots of shimmery possibilities with those and the shells look like they'd coordinate perfectly with the ones in the Seaside set.

I'm Late I'm Late- (oh no I'm not) what a couple of FANTASTIC and fun looking sets- would love to be able to play with them- Alice has always been one of my favourite stories and who doesn't like the Queen of Hearts and the White Rabbit- as for mermaids these are adorable love all the example cards too

Congrats to Jean. Have a great time at CHA. Both sets are fabulous. The mermaids are my favorite since swimming is the only time I look graceful or at least feel graceful- lol. Someday I may get a small mermaid tatoo. Hey, I could use the stamps to try that out.

Talk about bringing back memories of my childhood-wow on both counts. Alice of course being one of the first books I read and being from Miami-all things ocean mean home. I would surely love to have these to play with.

I love all the new stamp sets, but the Alice in Wonderland set is my favorite. My grandfather was a writer and a collector. In his library was the chair Lewis Carroll sat in while he wrote "Alice in Wonderland" along with Carroll's chaise lounge. My childhood was full of images from the story. This set is a must have for me! How fun to see what you have done with these images! Thanks for the chance to win!

Hi Sandy,These are truly my favorites to date! The Mermaid set is just exquisite...I was swooning over it at the first reveal. Alice in wondeland is a favorite story, and your classic, whimsical artwork is my vision of the characters, too. Thank you for sharing!

I am over-the-moon excited about these two new sets! I love anything to do with children's literature, fantasy, and fairy tales, so these are dream sets to me. Fabulous job on these! Can't wait to get my inky fingers on them!

ooooooh! I seriously can not wait! for the new stamp sets to come out. I am really liking the Wonderland set. Of course any win from crafty secrets would be cherished and most welcome if it were to come my way but I will definitely be splurging a little in the months to come. and darn it, I deserve it! hehe

The mermaid set is SO pretty I can't wait to get my hands on them. I just got my first set of Clear Art Stamps and I love them! They come out so nice and clean. I also got the new Alice set at CHA and I'm very excited about them! Congrats to Jean!

I love those Alice in Wonderland stamps! i'm just sad that you ran out of them at CHA! :( i so wanted to get a set! but i'm glad that you did well at the show! i hope that the trade show portion was just as fun for you! it was great to see all the goodies at your booth! and very nice to meet all of you folks too! great displays and inspiration! thanks for the stamps! (and hopefully the Alice in Wonderland stamp set will be available in your store soon!)

Congrats to Jean! I hope to be able to join her in the winner's circle! These are such great sets! I've been an Alice fan since I was a child (more years back than I care to remember!) And the samples that were posted are fabulous!
